In this episode of Smarts Chickens, we are joined by Ethan Beute, Chief Evangelist of BombBomb. BombBomb is a platform that humanizes the experience of communication by using face to face video tools that many of us are already familiar with! Ethan Beute discusses the importance of getting crafty with your messaging strategies and a video format is a big proponent of their continued success. The technical jargon and conventional methods of sending cold emails is, as Ethan describes “not efficient in targeting and addressing the needs of your consumers.” Blocks of text that don’t have a face to the messaging will go unnoticed because it’s hard for consumers to see the value in what they’re getting Ethan addresses how BombBomb mitigates many of these setbacks; coupled with the new book “Human-Centered Communication, and Digital Pollution”, which he wrote to further explain how to combat these antiquated methods of outreach. By keeping the experiences personal and meaningful, it allows entrepreneurs to stay engaged with their consumers even in the midst of this remote environment where many of our interactions are conducted through virtual means.
BombBomb was founded in 2006 by Darin Dawson and Conor McCluskey. The idea came from two salesmen that knew their best client interactions came from face to face meetings, but during this time, communication had started to become faceless. Connor wanted to test the waters and sent out a video email to test out this form of communication and the results were overwhelming-essentially leading to the birth of BombBomb!
Ethan Beute came onto BombBomb in 2011 as their VP of Marketing. At this point in time, Ethan had already carved a niche for himself in the B2B marketing world. Having written books such as “Rehumanize Your Business” and “Human-Centered Communication”, Ethan eventually blossomed into his current role as Chief Evangelist, to spread the good word of Bomb Bomb’s mission in changing the ways in which organizations communicate with their consumers.
